About Youth Internship
Howard School District is starting a new class offering for senior students. The Youth Internship Program provides an opportunity to link education and work on a continuous basis. The core of the Youth Internship Program includes a change in the way students are taught by focusing on application rather than lecture, and by connecting students to the world of work in their community. Another key purpose of the Youth Internship Program is to give students work experience in a career field they are interested in but yet do not have any work experience in; therefore, students will not be placed into an internship that overlaps with their current work experience.
Students may choose to participate in the Youth Internship Program for either .5 or 1 credit. This program will be 5th period and students must have this period free to participate in the program. Students taking this class for .5 credit per semester and will work at the job site a minimum of 40 minutes per school day. Students taking this class for 1 credit per semester and will work at the job site a minimum of 80 minutes per school day. Students would preferable have 4th or 6th period open which would allow student to stay for the extended time required. Students will be responsible for their own transportation to and from job site. Carpooling with other students is not allowed. Also, the Youth Internship Program is for credit only with no monetary compensation given.
